If the sync manifest file in that skills directory can't be read or is not valid, Claude Code now shows a warning naming the actual file instead of a generic error message.\n\nThe warning also spells out the consequence: no folder in that directory is adopted as a plugin until the bad file is fixed or removed.\n\n**Why**\n\nPreviously a generic message left you guessing which file was the problem. Naming the file makes it much faster to find and fix, or delete, the file that's blocking plugin adoption.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
